Hey guys, whats the plan for the late dinner on Friday? Believe it or not, I have work til 8 on friday nite, but maybe I can join ya for a draft. Any idea where you're meeting? Plenty of restaurants nearby...

BTW I talked to Jim Sgrig, who is NOT gonna make it this year,,,

Ron, did you pre-register, or just gonna sign in Saturday am? Just wondering waht kind of turnout Bill Nash is expecting, I did see a blurb about it in one of the newspaper weekend guides.

Latest weather has it as dry, but high of 80, not the 85 they had erlier!

The lowered Dodge doesn't make for much of a tow vehicle. Plenty of power with the Kenne Bell supercharger, tho.
I'm not preregistered, either, can take care of that Sat. AM.

keep me advised for your friday night plans... [if you're feeling lucky, there is a casino + horse track, probably 2 miles from your hotel room.] But there are plenty of restaruants neraby for dinner, too.

I hope all you dudes and dudettes have a great time. If we weren't in Atlantic City for the week, I'd love to join you guys. When I get home, I need to finish finishing the back bench seat, sink the mounts for new front seats, and figure out how to build some storage in my old boat.

Who's responsible for posting glassic pics from the meet?!?

Enjoy!

I'm looking at heading up for the day Saturday as a spectator with my father...

Looking on the club's website, seems like the meet is listed from 1am until 5pm... so my question is, when do things really get going up there? We would like to get up there in the morning and then head on home early afternoon... thanks for the info in advance!

Andy.

Thanks Ron, I'd love to see some pics. Heck, I know everyone would.

Yeah, the girls won some $ last night. Balanced out so that for the 4 of us we came away about $140 richer. I didn't (and don't) gamble, except with my health - I was in the Hard Rock Cafe having a hot fudge sundae...

John, thanks! Great info.. I will make an effort to introduce myself to you. I take it you will be there with the "way back when"... I'll keep a lookout for you... I will most likely be wearing a "Flyers Roadster Club" T-shirt. I'm looking forward to seeing all the boats, my dad is too... we were looking at his Whirlwind last night, it would be great to get that on the water soon!.

Safe travels!

Well, I leave work at 8 tonight, then I'm going to START cleaning the boat. Not that its been in the water, but stored outside all the time with a cover, seems the upholstery is kinda mildewy. Hose off the deck, run the shop vac, and get the aluminum polish for the trim. I'll get to bed before midnight, then another 11 hour day at work. But I'll be there Saturday, hell or high water, or no water!

Weather looks dry, hope its an awesome turnout.

Geez, guess the fact I don't have to haul everything across the state means I've got a big advantage here. My directions:

Distance: 11.9 mi Time: 18 mins

STATE ROUTE 29 go toward LAKESIDE DR - go 4.9
Continue on PA-29 - go 5.2 mi

Turn Right on PA-415 - go 1.11 mi

Arrive at the center of HARVEYS LAKE, PA
